Since there's no difference between Solaris and OpenSolaris in builds (they both require libnsl it turns out), the files are now merged as PLATFORM=solaris.

Started the process of modifying the build system to permit more flexible and
reliable cross-platform support. Currently the build system is set up for
Linux (GCC or CLANG as the compiler) and for MinGW32 (GCC as the compiler).
Of these, only the Linux builds have been tested so far and confirmed to work
as expected. The way to use this new system is as follows: make Builds the default platform and compiler (linux and gcc). PLATFORM=mingw32 make Builds the mingw32 build (untested!) using the default compiler (gcc). COMPILER=clang make Builds the default platform (linux) using the clang compiler. Other platform and compiler fragment files can be added in the ./make directory
based on the models already there.
